A reputable company for shipping a series 1

Drive it

Drive it home, that is what they were made to do. Take some simple tools and have a blast. We bought a 1965 VW westy and the first week we owned it did a month long trip to Newfoundland, do the same with your rover.

Good to know. Have already contacted Carla and she had been a delight so far. Will report back which ever way I go.

Fair challenge. My reservation is that the truck was bought sight unseen, is 55 years old, who knows the basic maintenence, fluids etc. less about breaking down than about breaking something. Add to that that the utah and Nevada deserts are big places with out parts and no time to assemble tools or spares before and it starts to feel a bit sketchy. I appreciate the sentiment however.

I used Reliable Trucking, LLC to ship an SIIa from Seattle to Los Angeles.

Cost $500 insured and took about four days.

I threw myself on the mercy of Uship.com. I had to get Ron's 110 chassis from Niagara Falls to the Eastern Shore. I weeded thru about a hundred-odd offers, but finally went with a guy who did a great job hauling it. He is a retiree, and he just does this stuff for grins. He showed up with his F350, his wife the dog, and the trailer.

please expand your comments

Id prefer to not write an essay on DAS but if you call or write me I can give you a full run down. Salient points are:
1) My experience was extremely negative.
2)They fraudulently represent their services.
3)My land rover's brake lines were damaged by the yokel tow company DAS hired to pick up the car and as a result they would not release the car demanding I pay a $900 non op fee. Extremely frustrating experience.
4) When I picked up the car it was sitting in 6 inches of mud in an impound yard, the battery was dead with no brakes.

My Rover was shipped from Boston To Portland OR and Bullseye did the logistics and Motion Carriers did the actual shipping. It actually arrived early and I was traveling so they kept it in a secured (as in with frothing at the mouth angry dogs) yard. Totally satisfied.
Thanks to Ike Goss for the reccomendation

I too used bullseye and they were great. Quote was in the middle of the range of others. Pickup was perfect. Drop off earlier than expected and truck was in the exact shape when it arrived as when it left. Thanks Ike. And Carla at bullseye.

I picked my SIIa myself with trailer...only 400mi away. I have used Uship.com twice on long hauls with boats and can not say enough positive about the exerience. Both times they were guys just running around the country for something to do after retirement.

Good luck!
